Big & Rich DJ Service

Last reviewed: August 9, 2026. Business status: Active.

Big & Rich DJ Service is an owner-operated wedding and special-event entertainment business associated with DJ Ritchie Rich, whose official biography identifies him as Ritchie Mayotte. Couples looking for a wedding DJ in Sudbury can consider the company for reception music, MC support and customizable lighting or effects. The official site remains available under the matching Big & Rich name and publishes a Sudbury-focused service description, wedding context and the same telephone number shown on its contact page.

This profile was last reviewed on August 9, 2026. It separates features documented by the business from matters that still require a direct conversation. The official website does not provide a street address, current package menu, prices, travel radius or detailed booking terms, so those points should not be inferred from older listings or third-party directories.

Services and specialization

The official biography says Ritchie established Big & Rich DJ Service in 2010 after recognizing an opportunity to entertain and energize wedding receptions. It describes dance mixes, prerecorded music, knowledge across music genres, up-tempo entertainment and customization of lighting and effects among the service’s features.

Ritchie is also presented as a skilled speaker and MC. That combination may be useful for a reception requiring both music and announcements, although the website does not define whether MC service is included automatically in every booking. His separate “Getting Rich” page documents an interest in electronic dance music and future house, but couples should not assume that any one genre determines the wedding playlist.

• Wedding-reception DJ entertainment
• Dance mixes and prerecorded music
• MC and speaking capability
• Lighting and effects customization
• Music planning assistance described in the owner biography

Planning and music approach

The official material indicates that Ritchie assists with planning an event’s music and entertainment. The site also presents wedding feedback referring to discussions about timelines, music choices and special moments. These comments provide context for how past clients experienced the process, but they are not a substitute for a current written service list or contract.

Couples should bring their ceremony and reception timeline, important songs, preferred genres, do-not-play choices and announcement requirements to the consultation. If clean edits, culturally specific music, guest requests or bilingual announcements matter, obtain explicit confirmation rather than assuming they are part of the standard service.

Service area and who it may suit

The website consistently positions Big & Rich DJ Service in Sudbury, Ontario, and discusses Ritchie’s activity in the Sudbury community. It may suit couples holding a dance-focused wedding reception in Sudbury who prefer to work directly with an owner-operator and want DJ entertainment, MC capability and adaptable lighting or effects from one provider.

The official pages reviewed do not publish a defined Greater Sudbury, Northern Ontario or out-of-town travel radius. Couples marrying in Garson, elsewhere in Greater Sudbury or outside the city should confirm whether their venue is covered and whether mileage, accommodation or travel time affects the quote.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the owner-operated format: the official biography names Ritchie Mayotte as the owner and performer. It also states that he has the licences and insurance required for live events and identifies him as a member of the Canadian Professional DJ Association. Couples should still request current proof if their venue requires insurance documentation or particular licensing.

The main limitation is the amount of current booking detail available online. There is no published package comparison, equipment inventory, backup policy, event-duration limit, travel schedule or accessibility information. The website mentions customizable lighting and effects, but it does not identify which effects are currently available or included. Music videos appear in wedding feedback on the home page, yet their present availability is not clearly documented as a standard service.

• Confirmed: named owner-operator and wedding-reception focus
• Confirmed: MC capability and customizable lighting or effects
• Confirmed on the official biography: licensing and insurance for live events
• To verify: current documentation, package inclusions and backup arrangements

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The official contact page offers a free consultation meeting but provides no starting rate, package total, deposit, overtime charge, travel fee or add-on pricing.

For a useful comparison, ask for an itemized written quote based on the event date, venue, service hours and required setup. The quote should distinguish DJ and MC coverage, ceremony audio, reception sound, microphones, lighting or effects, travel, setup and teardown, overtime, taxes and any optional media features. Do not rely on prices shown by directories because they are not first-party evidence of the company’s current rates.

Current prices are not published on the official pages reviewed.

Contact and booking

The official contact page lists 705-920-0456 and info@bigandrichdj.com and invites prospective clients to arrange a free consultation meeting. No street address or public office hours are supplied on that page, so the legacy Garson address has not been carried into this profile.

When enquiring, provide the wedding date, venue and municipality, estimated guest count, ceremony and reception schedule, required MC duties and desired production features. Availability is not published online and must be confirmed directly. Before paying, request a written agreement identifying the performer, services, setup times, payment schedule, cancellation terms and contingency arrangements.

What couples should confirm

Ask whether Ritchie Mayotte will personally perform at the wedding and whether MC duties are included for the full reception. Confirm the exact sound system, wireless microphone count, lighting or effects package and whether separate ceremony audio can be provided. If the venue has multiple rooms or outdoor spaces, clarify power, weather protection and equipment requirements.

Couples should also confirm playlist collaboration, request handling, do-not-play instructions, clean edits and pronunciation notes for introductions. Request current proof of liability insurance or music licensing if the venue requires it. Finally, verify arrival and teardown times, travel costs, overtime, backup equipment, replacement-performer plans and whether music-video playback or other features shown on the website remain available.
